Networking (Internet connectivity, anyway) seems to die after either X amount of time, or X amount of data, has passed. It seems that if Firefox is trying to connect to a site, and is stalled, if you open terminal and try to ping something, it wakes it back up and lets it finish the page it was trying to load. I will include my debug capture below.

I see this alot with Firefox in Beta 8.5. Strange thing is, that I do not see it with Bash if I use FTP.

I had similar issues with lots of traffic through samba. restaring the service was a sollution. Will check if I have a debuglog

I was copying files to skyos using samba when the \\skyos computer (vmware though) was suddenly not available any more... (pre-alpha 8.6)

I attached the debuglog above (debug_samba_issue.txt)

restarting the network (dhcp for new ip) seemed to fix this problem, but I restarted samba and stopped indexing as well (but those 2 alone were not enough)

I've seen something similar with samba. I tried to copy a 21 meg file over from a linux samba client to my skyos install (via vmware, but a similar thing happens natively with a realtek card). This is what I get:

If I copy the file to the htdocs apache directory on the linux box and use wget from SkyOS, though, it works fine.

Added another debug file. I booted up, went to an external ftp site, began d/l of a video. Eventually it stopped. I tried refreshing the page and going to a different site but it would not connect. I opened another tab in FF and that would not connect anywhere either. I was able to ping out just fine with Bash. Opening another instance of Firefox alongside the original worked correctly to access the Internet. After this, the original FF instance still would not connect anywhere.
Hope this helps some.
